Hi, Marsh, too long since we've seen/heard from you. Please come to some
of the rallies -- you just missed one close to you in Pensacola.
It was the JC-130 I flew for the aerial recovery of satellites, and the
MC130 for special operations ground-to-air man recoveries. I never counted
the instruments, but we had 8 instruments for each of the 4 engines, plus,
as a WAG, 30 instruments each for the pilot and copilot. The flight
engineer and navigator each had their share too. More amazing was the
number of circuit breakers in the cockpit: There were 6 major panels, each
with (again, WAGs) about 10 columns of about 15 rows of breaker. Not all
of those positions were filled, but I'd say a conservative estimate would
be 500+ circuit breakers, each with an engraved label.
Later model C-130's, and upgrades, have eliminated a LOT of those
instruments and breakers (and the flight engineer & sometimes navigator) --
but the functions, and others, are still essential and are performed
somehow. :-)
